Blessings on blessings

Hello all!

This week definitely had its ups and downs, but I have been doing SO much better!  At the beginning of this week I was having a really hard time.  Long story short, I called my zone leaders crying and later that day at district council they not only gave me a blessing, but they stayed for 2 hours after to have a meeting with me and my comp.  We were able to talk through all of our issues and I quite literally felt a weight off my shoulders.  After the meeting I could finally breathe again!  I literally have the best zone leaders ever and they were SUCH an answer to prayers.  God is so good and He really is mindful of us!

At the beginning of this week when I was really struggling, I prayed harder than ever.  I kept asking God why He would inspire my mission president to have me train, to have me train a gringa, and to have me train Hermana J.  One night when I was praying, I received the clearest answer - God knew exactly what was happening and He had a purpose in it.  I realized, sure, God could make my mission easy if He wanted to, but what good would that do me?  What would I learn if I never struggled?  I knew I needed to humble myself and only continue to serve and love my companion even more.  Since then, I have really been able to develop the attribute of humility, which I never knew I struggled with.  It still can be hard sometimes, but I know that God has a purpose for me and that with Him I can do all things.

I love you all and hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

A dog bit me and I´m still upset about it

Good afternoon to everyone except to the dog that bit me :) Ok I´m being dramatic but YES I got bitten (bit? bitten? I´m forgetting english?) by a dog for the first time in my mission.  I was just walking along in the village, minding my own business, the dog was walking by us minding his own business, and then he just comes behind me and bites me in the leg and tries to attack us?!  The audacity.  Don´t fret though, I´m rabies free (so far) but I do have a pretty sweet bruise from it. #blessed Other than that, not much new stuff happened this week.  We got to stop by at Lesli and David´s (our miracle baptism) wedding reception for a minute, found someone to teach, and ate some weird animal parts like usual!  It´s been a good week here in Cotama (other than the dog bite...yes still being dramatic), and I get to go back to the city to QUITO for the day tomorrow for a dentist appointment!!!  Stay tuned to see if the toothac...

Still Here!

Alóóóó! Well, last week was nuts, and this week was even MORE nuts!  One of the hnas we share a ward with got emergency transferred to the coast, and the rest of us still haven`t received our changes.  So, I still don`t know where I`ll be headed this week!  Until we get our changes, I`ve been in a TRIO with Hnas Jeppson and Achocalla, my 2 hijas!  So I`m double-training right now haha. I am really thankful for everyone who sent me supportive emails this week, it really means a lot!  The mission has been crazy, but I have learned a ton here.  I am so thankful God shows us the things we fault so we can learn to become better people. Better said in Ether 12:27-28, which sums it up: 27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their aweakness. I bgive unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my cgrace is sufficient for all men that dhumble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make eweak...

Temporary Reassignment

Hermana Harris did not know whether or not she would leave for Ecuador on August 19th, because she hadn't gotten her visa.  Today she got reassigned to the West Virginia Charleston Mission while she waits for her visa.  Because of the uncertainty about her travel plans, Hermana Harris along with her district, was allowed to communicate with us all week about their reassignments and changes in travel plans.
